How exactly is this possible?

Building data
THE field of architecture has in recent times, become highly specialised with numerous branches such as landscape architecture, construction management, historic building conservation, interior design and housing and urban design. At the same time, the d esigner is always confronted with the situation of having to understand the brief at hand in its totality and carry it through to fruition exactly as planned. In short this would mean, that a successful architect or designer should not only have a thorou gh knowledge of all subjects related to the project that has been conceived, but be in a position to brief consultants in such a way that the product results as imagined.

More on money
Financial Services, Emerging Trends in the New Millennium is interestingly titled and leads to expectations of something new in financial services. Big ticket leasing, venture capital and securitisation are new and emerging areas of finance. But credit c ards, NBFCs, insurance and housing finance are passe. And these also get a mention in the book.

Beaming from the skies
IN David Paige and William Crawley, the authors of this book, we have a rare combination. Being media professionals with over two decades of experience at the BBC on the one hand and being specialists in South Asian Studies with significant publications to their credit on the history, politics and broadcasting of the region on the other, they have produced a well-balanced and sustained perception in their book which takes every side into consideration and above all does so from the perspective of an eag er learner and fellow traveller rather than that of the snobbish and superior outsider who knows better.
